The American Short-Horn Herd Book, 
Prizes to Agents, Terms,&c. 
In order to remunerate our friends in some measure 
for the assistance we receive from them—and as the 
prices of all our works are placed so low as to render 
any further reduction in the shape of commissions, ab¬ 
solutely impossible, we have for some years past offer¬ 
ed a number of prizes for competition to those engaged 
during the winter months in extending the circulation 
of our works. The awards of the premiums decided 
January first have already been published, and we now 
present the following list to be decided April 10 : 
1. For the largest amount of cash subscriptions to our 
Journals, at the lowest Club Rates, received at this 
office April Tenth, or previously, we will pay, 
TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. 
2. For the TWO next largest amounts, each, 
TWENTY DOLLARS.. 
3. For the THREE next largest amounts, each, 
FIFTEEN DOLLARS. 
4. For the FOUR next largest amounts, each, 
TEN DOLLARS. 
5. For the FIVE next largest amounts, each, 
FIVE DOLLARS. 
And that those who did not begin canvassing 
early enough for the January prizes, or who took one 
of the two lowest offered, (either $10 or $5) may have 
some inducement to compete more vigorously for the 
April list—should the first of the above premiums bo 
taken by any one who in January received neither a 
first, second or third prize, we will make it Thirty-five 
instead of Twenty-Jive Dollars ; and should either sec¬ 
ond or third prize be taken under similar circumstan¬ 
ces, we will increase them each $5, (making them re¬ 
spectively $25 and $20.) 
Tkrms to Clubs and Singly. —The following are 
our lowest terms—on which the Agent should charge 
a sufficient advance to remunerate him for his trouble:

The commissions thus affordod, are exceeded by no 
contemporary, and in view of the value and typogra¬ 
phical execution of the works, rank them among the 
cheapest ever offered to the public. 
Canada subscribers we are obliged also to 
charge with American postage on the Cultivator at 
the rate of 6 cents a copy, (60 cents on a club of ten ) 
Rural Affairs. —This volume is perhaps the most

large a number as possible, agents are desired in all
